Default RE: Dixie/Cabelas

I just got off the phone with a guy at Cabela's. He told me the max load of the 12ga is 110gr 2F. The 10ga is 120gr 2F. Shot recommended max is 1 3/8 to 1 1/2 ounces in each gun. He recommended I start with 100gr 2F and 1 1/2 ounces of #6 shot for a turkey load. I will start with a much smaller charge of powder to get the ball rolling at least until I get a feel for the gun and how it performs. As I stated earlier I will start off with 60gr 2F and work up from there. I also plan on getting into the habit of placing a patch in one barrel while I load the other so there is no confusion about what might or might not be loaded. I will remove the X-full chokes to load and will leave the improved and modified in when I am using them. Unless of course I learn that removing them is the thing to do.
